After Tottenham Hotspur's failure to qualify for Europe in the new season, there have been strong calls for the transfer of ace striker Harry Carney. Manchester United has been the most active buyer, but Tottenham Hotspur's stiff £100 million (about HK$1 billion) transfer fee has deterred the Red Devils from making a move. According to The Sun, United will make a final attempt to force Tottenham to lower their price by asking Halikani to initiate a transfer request.
Manchester United have made Khalilani their number one target for a new striker, but they believe Khalilani, who turns 30 next month, is only worth £80 million (HK$800 million) at most. However, team leader Tannhäuser, who has a soft spot for the England international, will make a last-ditch attempt before moving on and will ask Khalilani to make a public request for a move to force Tottenham Hotspur to lower their asking price.
